Description of Lago di Santa Croce (Italy)
The spot is characterized by a thermal wind that starts in the early afternoon, mostly in spring-summer. The beach where to set up the kite and launch is large and made of rounded pebbles that do not damage or dirty the kite. The wind is on-shore, and on the left side (looking at the lake from the beach), it can bring to the swimmers' beach, while on the right, there is a lagoon where local kite schools have beginner courses.
